Speed limit posting in construction zones
Under hazard construction add buttons to post reduced speed limit. This will affect navigation time. Sometimes it's for more than 10 miles

Pin drop report function
EVERY time I have seen a cop I haven't used the Report feature because I'm a mile away by the time I report. Then the report is inaccurate and useless for everyone else.
Make it so I can drive by the cop and then pull out my phone and place a pin on the location wjere the report should actually be. I understand your worried about people abusing and reporting thing across town so then only allow someone to report and pin drop something within 1/5mile?21 votes -
Automatic Multiple Stop Route Optimization
Lets say I want to stop by 8 tourist locations in Washington, DC but because I am new to the area I will have no idea how to route myself optimally....so it would be awesome if I could just put in the location addresses or names and have WAZE optimize my stops to be most efficient and effective.
Now that would be an awesome travel tool! Heck it might even work for pizza delivery guys too! ;)
21 votesThank you for this suggestion.
This idea has been being discussed for a while and recognized as an important user request.
We hear the community’s voice and would like to share that while we can’t currently commit to a timeline, we do have plans to create a way to add more than one stop pre-drive.
We’ll keep the community posted, please stay tuned! -

police notification 1 mile ahead rather then 0.5 miles
It would be nice to have a little further warning that a police car is ahead in some instances a half a mile they can clock your speed.

Restrict areas
I think so interesting a button for activate a ways out of restrict areas. In some capital here in Brazil we have a restrict days and hours to move inside the city(in Portuguese language is called Dia de Rodizio). This feature could help us to create alternative for dont enter inside this areas. Do you know what I you mean?
This feature will be transform waze for the best app in Brazil.
If you need a better information about my idea be my guest to contact me.21 votes -
Add voice command for other countries
I think voice command should be made available to other countries too since that way it`ll be much easier to navigate and report.

Lost Pet Section
How many times has your heart gone out to a dog lost at an intersection? What if you could help reunite the owner with two clicks of a button?
With Waze Lost Pet section, it is that easy.
Adding to the possible list categories, an option for Lost Pets would allow users to prevent accidents, reunite owners with missing pets, and even impact their local shelters by relieving some of the burden of overpopulation.
Waze is ideal for such concepts due to it's updates in real time and photo capable posting system. Such a concept would mean the difference between "just missed him" and "just found him", even allowing Wazer's to arrange a reunion between owner and pet all through this very app. The potential impact nationwide is immense, and would improve quality of life by reducing exploding dog populations quickly and efficiently and safely.How many times has your heart gone out to a dog lost at an intersection?

Please note we're changing the status of this suggestion to Not Planned, since we finalized our plans for 2024 and this idea won't be implemented this year.
We hope to include it in our plans for later down the line.

import addresses
While I have an Android phone, I think that this may be of general usage.
I'd like to see an import/export capability, perhaps to Dropbox, etc.
I have had to reinstall Waze, and I lost my addresses, so it would have been nice to be able to simply import the book back. Also, my wife and I have many addresses in common, so it would have been nice to not have to enter them both.

טיימר לעקיפה בטוחה בכביש הערבה
הבעיה:
הקטע שבין צומת הערבה לצומת קטורה בכביש 90, באורך של כ-120 ק"מ, נחשב לאחד הקטעים המסוכנים בישראל. מרבית הדרך חד-נתיבית לכל כיוון, ללא אפשרות עקיפה בטוחה – וזה יוצר לחץ, נהיגה תוקפנית ומצבים מסכני חיים על בסיס יומי.
בין השנים 2000 ל-2020 נהרגו בכביש הערבה כולו 81 בני אדם, כאשר חלק גדול מהתאונות נגרמות עקב עקיפות מסוכנות בקטעים שאינם מאפשרים עקיפה בטוחה.
הצעה לפיצ'ר מציל חיים:
Waze תוסיף התראה מתקדמת – טיימר בצד המסך או הודעה קולית/חזותית – שתעדכן את הנהג מראש על קטע דו-נתיבי מתקרב:
🕒 "בעוד 2.4 ק"מ – קטע דו-נתיבי לעקיפה בטוחה"
⏳ "המתן עוד 90 שניות – נתיב עקיפה מתקרב"
למה זה חשוב?
• מחקרים בפסיכולוגיה ובתחום התחבורה מראים שכאשר אנשים לא יודעים מתי תגיע ההזדמנות הבאה לפעולה (למשל, לעקיפה), תחושת חוסר השליטה גוברת – וזה מעלה את הסיכון לפעולות אימפולסיביות ולא זהירות.
• בנוסף, נמצא שברגע שאדם יודע כמה זמן נותר להמתין – קל לו יותר להתאפק. עיקרון זה מיושם בהצלחה בתחבורה ציבורית (לוחות זמנים בזמן אמת) וברמזורים עם ספירה לאחור, ומשפר משמעותית את רמת הסבלנות והשליטה העצמית של המשתמשים.
השורה התחתונה:
פיצ'ר פשוט. השפעה עצומה.
בכביש שבו עשרות בני אדם נהרגו – כל שיפור קטן בהתנהגות הנהגים יכול להציל חיים.בברכה,

Countdown to Safe Overtaking on Highway 90 (Arava Road)
The Problem:
The section between Arava Junction and Ketura Junction on Highway 90, approximately 120 km long, is considered one of the most dangerous stretches of road in Israel. Most of the road is a single lane in each direction, without safe overtaking options – leading to pressure, aggressive driving, and daily life-threatening situations.
Between 2000 and 2020, 81 people were killed on the Arava section of Highway 90, many of them in accidents caused by dangerous overtaking where no safe passing zones were available.
A Life-Saving Feature Suggestion:
Waze could add a smart alert – a timer on the side of the screen or a visual/audio notification – that informs drivers about the next upcoming safe overtaking section:
🕒 "In 2.4 km – Two-lane road ahead for safe overtaking"
⏳ "Wait 90 seconds – Safe passing zone approaching"
Why it matters:
• Studies in psychology and transportation show that when people lack visibility or control, especially on monotonous roads with no clear overtaking options, their frustration and risk-taking behavior increase.
• Research also shows that when drivers know how long they need to wait, patience rises, and impulsiveness drops. This principle is successfully used in countdown timers at crosswalks, traffic lights, and public transit – and could be just as effective in driving apps.
Bottom line:
A small feature. A massive impact.
On a road where dozens have lost their lives – even a small shift in driver behavior could save lives.הבעיה:

Allow decimal points in House Numbers
Alphabetic characters and slashes are now allowed in House Numbers, which is a huge step forward. Unfortunately, decimal points are still not allowed. This is a problem in Puerto Rico where rural addresses are often based on kilometer posts. A rural address in Puerto Rico might look like "km 17.1 Calle Marginal". Allowing decimal points would be very helpful. Other areas might benefit from other special characters being allowed.

Parking spaces available in car parks in real time
Several cities around the world have a real-time feed of available spaces in their parking lots.
It would be really relevant to be able to have it in Waze so that we can be guided directly to the city center or bus/tram hub. Currently Waze allows you to get around perfectly, but concretely, once you arrive in town, it does not help you to park, so the purpose is not achieved in a certain way. It’s also a matter of sustainability. Waze should help for less time and gaz wasted.
Morover many cities with real time feed have digital screen to show availables parkings, but then, should we follow Waze, or the city's directions ? With the same datas, Waze keep the wheel.On the Google forum, speakers from Brazil, the Netherlands and France asked the same question. We have an api with a json feed updated by the minute.
Also Strasbourg, Luxembourg, etc…
So Waze could use historic form datas and foreseen avaibilities. And in real time guide cars to the best parking lot with some kind of prediction, putting aside full or almost full ones.

Talmudic Measurements
In addition to the imperial and metric systems of measurement currently available on the Waze app, would it be possible to add another system, which the voice instructions would use? I’m thinking of the Talmudic system of measurement (tefakh, amah, ris, mil, parsah). Many in Israel would be interested in utilizing these measurements because it would be a practical application of a currently abstract system.

Speed bump notification
Please can you make speed bumps in a different category so it can be turned off without removing the rest of the hazards. Living in London means I get a speed bump notification every 5 seconds and it’s very distracting when driving. Thanks, Josh

Destination confirmation
. Destination always shown on map, may be on top of or in estimated time of arrival box, as a confirmation that correct destination has been entered? (Reason - sometimes Waze gives directions when driving that I personally would not have selected).

Siri Shortcuts for reporting - PLEASE
How about enabling Siri interaction so users can report things hands-free? “Siri, tell Waze to report police” or “Siri, tell Waze to report a stopped vehicle on the shoulder” would be a lot safer and easier while driving than fumbling with the phone or CarPlay UI. Please consider it.

Waze on cluster screen over Carplay
Apple Maps and Google Maps are able to display a map on the cluster screen when connected via Apple Carplay.
Can an option be implemented for Waze to do the same thing?
